LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Feb. 14 - An honest prosecutor needed

The bids are out. I am a resident of Waterford Township. I have witnessed the prosecutor of the 51st District Court misleading jury pools, denying full access to evidence in criminal cases, seemingly not answering to anyone and thinking of himself as king.

He gets judges to issue warrants for petty supposed crimes, then drops the cases after 10 months, costing taxpayers money, wasting time and resources.

When new or concealed evidence is found that exonerates a person, this prosecutor does not seem interested.

He doesn't return phone calls or letters, because he's too busy.

Is he really for justice for the common man?

Waterford is now accepting bids for prosecutor. I urge whoever looks at the bids, do not even consider the current prosecutor.

If this is how our township prosecutor runs his office, we have had enough.

I want a person who possesses honesty, integrity and high ethics in that position.
